I was inspired by the gracious @traciyork to join the #tarottuesday party! I’ve been practicing tarot privately for about 15 years but I'm finally ready to get out there and help others with my cards!

I know readings can change mindsets and bring true solutions to many. Tarot readings are a wonderful way to connect to your inner self and learn where you can improve.

A Bit About My Deck

My deck The Fairy Ring, (available here: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/fairy-ring-oracle/) is based in Celtic myths and legends.

As with the traditional tarot, my cards have four suits - but are represented by the four seasons. There are four court cards for each season which have a general meaning as well as point to a specific type of real person. Also there are eight festival cards which represent the chief fairy feasts/holidays which have general meanings but can also point to specific times of the year.

As you can tell from the title, it’s a fairy based deck but the unique thing is each card has a real mythology behind it. Some are so familiar, most of us will recognize them - others I’d never heard of before opening this book.

Over the years I’ve noticed the book’s interpretational meaning works in conjunction with the background story of that fairy/being/energy to provide more insight and definition. For example quite a few cards have to do with material gains however depending on which fairy it is it could mean money received through hard work, or luck, maybe a family inheritance.

I’ll provide the book’s interpretation as well as my understanding.

Here are the 5 cards I pulled for this week's message

1. Morgan Le Fay | Lady of Autumn

Book's Interpretation

She is the mistress of occult knowledge. She indicates wisdom and power gained from study and experience combined. Depending on surrounding cards she may indicate aspirations/ambition but also cunning and/or ruthlessness.

The Lady of Autumn may denote a real person: an independent woman who covets success. She is passionate, sensual and fond of possessions but capable of being manipulative and controlling.

My Thoughts

You are a person who is either well versed in the occult or has a strong, natural intuition. This is a strong card which asks you to look inward towards your motivations. Are you taking something too far? Are you being domineering in some aspect? This card is a reminder to use your power (which you have in spades) for good.

2. The Woodwose | King of Spring

Book's Interpratation

The woodwose represents the call of the wild, leaving behind the known for the unknown. He is a breath of fresh air and the rejection of established rules. A normal life overturned - however there is a sense of optimism in the air - notwithstanding unexpected events and circumstances.

The King may depict a real person: a mature man who is lively, energetic and noble but unorthodox and unconventional. He is a man who throws everything around him into chaos.

My Thoughts

This card is daring you to go wild - within reason of course! Or not, I mean maybe you're ready to live off the grid? There is a certain level knowledge gained from letting go of the rules and restrictions. Do you have an idea that goes against the grain? Try it! Perhaps you've met someone with that air of excitement and adventure? Is it time you try to incorporate a bit of that energy into your own life?

3. Unseelie Court | Nine of Winter

Book's Interpretation -Reversed-

The appearance of the Unseelie Court reversed points towards a low threshold of boredom and the desire to seek out novelty for its own sake. Points towards dissatisfaction, excess and pleasures that last only for a moment.

My Thoughts

The Unseelie Court whether upright or reversed it all about your external/social world. There is much wisdom in that old quote, "You are the company you keep." Reversed, this card warns against looking for gratification or recognition from outside yourself. Greatest happiness and fulfillment come from within not from material possessions or novelties.

4. Fairy Festival Card: Herfest | Autumn Equinox

Book's Interpretation

When the festival Herfest appears reversed it is indicating poverty, lack, loss, failure, unprofitable speculations, financial problems or bankruptcy.

My Thoughts

It can be difficult to accept cards like these because they sound like bad news. However realization is the first step to making changes so ask yourself: am I facing financial troubles because I have a negative attitude towards money? Am I handling my budget in a productive way?

*I will add to this, as I had an instant thought of cryptocurrency when I saw this card come up, check where you're investing - if you are - there is a lot of misinformation about trading and investing out there right now. Be cautious and do your research!

5. The Leprechaun | Two of Spring

Book's Interpretation

The Leprechaun brings material gain in the form of lottery, gambling, an unexpected windfall, competition prizes or gifts. There is a warning with this stroke of luck; whether the leprechaun's gift is large or small, you must be careful how you use it - or it may lose it's charm or disappear just like Leprechaun gold when the sun rises!

My Thoughts

Whether large or small, be grateful! Invest the gain wisely and you'll see it grow abundantly - hoard it with greedy intentions or spend it frivolously and watch it disappear leaving nothing to show for it.

I hope you could relate to the card(s) you chose and the message the Fairies had for you!

stop by next Tuesday for another 5 card spread.

I do not claim to see the future or the past. I'm not a psychic or medium. My cards are a connection to the higher source and they provide guidance. I simply use my intuition and understanding to interpret the message.

I offer readings as well as instructional advice for those who have an interest in learning. However, no one can teach you tarot, it is a personal journey and a soul connection with your deck that must be molded over time.

If you've ever been interested in Tarot I'd love to hear from you!
